All of your favorite ingredients in pumpkin pie come together in this delicious ice cream. Do not confuse pure cooked pumpkin pure with pumpkin pie mix. You may also use your own homemade cooked pumpkin puree in place of canned.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree or 1-3/4 cups homemade cooked pumpkin puree, well-draiined
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preparation:

Place pumpkin puree into a strainer lined with cheesecloth for 15 minutes to drain any excess water.

Gently heat heavy cream, white sugar, and brown sugar until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, stirring often. Do not boil. Remove from heat and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.

Beat drained pumpkin puree, sweetened cream mixture, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, scraping sides often.

Pour mixture into ice cream machine. Start machine and freeze for 20 minutes, or as per manufacturer's recommendations for your machine.

Yield: 1 quart

We are waiting the results of our changes to this recipe. If you mix the cream for 3 minutes, you Will get butter! Never heat cream. We added 1/4 cup more brown sugar and 3/4 cup sugar substitute, total. For a 1 1/2 quart maker: add one cup milk..heat milk first, add all the sugars and dry ingredients to that and gently heat, not boil, until the sugars are dissolved. Let milk cool about 5 minutes and add pumpkin. You may cool this mixture first or slowly add cold cream. Gently mix all ingredients with a whisk. Refrigerate for two hours, then follow maker's instructions for making ice cream. Your results should be delicious and consistent. Comfort
